    I need to say that it is very sad to me that anyone needs these books to have a good sex life. Enjoying reading erotica (which these books barely are, anyway) is fine. I get it. But to NEED it because your so uptight in the bedroom makes me sad. Sex is not something to be ashamed of. Asking for what you want isn't to be ashamed of.

    Loosen up, live a little and have some real fun!

    More like all the other stuff in the world just makes people not in the mood. I mean, paying bills or news about Syria are real mood killers.
    If you don't have sex because of Syria, ain't nothing gonna help you!

    I bet if I start a thread about philosophy, it'd get nowhere near as many hits.

    ETA: but I would probably have to friend anyone who actually participated....

    This

    I heard this NPR show once that had this appalling fact-- some ridiculously high percentage of americans haven't read a single book since they finished school.

    So if you haven't read 50 shades, no surprise.... statistically, most of the folks here aren't reading anything.

    I'm more interested in what you ARE reading.

    So do tell!

    I hope anyone with any literary knowledge is not reading those books for any reason other than to see why anyone would. I read plenty. I have a degree in it!

    I listened to the audio. I couldn't get past the first chapter reading it, it was so awful.

    Currently reading Anna Karinina and Game of Thrones.

    Hey just cause you would rather watch free porn than spend money on housewife porn doesnt mean you arent reading. I was reading about Mesopotamia last night, but it's such a dry book that I passed right out.

    I read daily. Now reading the eight book of Wheel of Time series. And just finished Ender's Game.

    I dated a guy who read/loved "50 shades" and wanted me to read it. Think he wanted to act some of the scenes out - I bought the trilogy but still haven't read them (and we aren't still together) :-P

    Yeah... Instead of reading 50 Shades, I'd just save some time and watch porn. Then read a good book.

    ^this...50 shades sucked...only got into page 30 or so before my inner goddess said, "wtf this is crap!" and threw the book across the room.

    haha. I was just saying that the dudes saying they dont' read it aren't telling me much... are they not reading it because they don't read? or are they not reading it because they would rather read something else? I *hope* people read. I do! I am in love with the written word!

    I was reading yesterday a how to on a stay and vacates. I am reading the bible. And i just read the Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

    I am also reading Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal (still plugging away at that)... and the gnostic gospels.

    In the 90s, way before the ShadesOG series, Ann Rice wrote S&M erotica.
    I knew men who actually read that and there's another S+M author from
    the 70s men are knowing to collect but it is written as SciFi. Depends on how
    it's packaged to intrigue men I guess.

    AMen to that...Sleeping beauty series. Now that's a read...no question that it is fantasy but 3 books in a day ....mind you I was in my 20's then...

    I don't read nearly as much as I used to, but I still manage to squeeze in a few books a year.

    Most recently:

    Dead Things - Stephen Blackmoore
    Blackbirds - Chuck Wendig

    I read Atheism for Dummies a while back. Currently struggling through the Machine of Death anthology; I may have to put that aside for something else.

    I think I'm going to read it now just because it's causing such a hooplah. I hope it's about a fat couple who likes a little BDSM in their bedroom, and gets all amateur funky. If it's about some absolutely gorgeous woman and some ripped Adonis meeting and unable to contain their feelings of passion while he introduces her to blind folds and cuffs as she timidly awakens to her sensual taboo desires I'm going to burn it for stupidity.

    What if the Adonis only has one leg(for walking) and no cuffs--just food cuffs--are you still gonna break out the blue tips?

    I'm weird when it comes to reading books. I'll read like 5 in a row and then stop reading for a few months and then do it again. Recently I finished World War Z and the Beach but I haven't picked up a new one yet

    50 Shades was a GREAT series. Don't let anyone tell you different. Its pron you're looking for however...I could see how you wouldn't like this, since there is actually an amazing story behind it. READ them!! :-D
